A HIGH REwARD.-The B. & 0.
offers reward of $500 for the arrest
and conviction of the alleged would
be-assassin of Capt. Landers, at Cum
berland, last week. This is high
reward, when looked at in one way,
and low one if looked at in another.
When we look over the history Of
railroading and review the long list
of deaths, orphans, cripples, worn out
men and pushed aside laborers, we
wonder that their lives were of SO little
value as to receive no passing notice
but general Indifference and neg
ligence from railroad millionaires.
Such lives are dear at nothing, and in
comparison to such value, the reward
of $500 is high. The reward may not
be offered so much for the value as
for the inspiration of terror to would
be assassins of railroad officials. The
cause of the attempted assassination
is not clearly established. Mr.. Lam
ders, besides being a railroad agent.
is an active man of the world and the
pleasures of society, and there may be
other causes for enmity incurred than
those arising from the discharge of
employees. Ifthe Cumberland officials
would offer $40 more reward, it would
make an aggregate ofs510. That fought
to land somebody in the penitentiary.
There's where all assassins should be.

CHEAPER RAIL ROAD FAREs.-On
the first of January. 1888, the Balti-
more and Ohio Rail Road Company
will inaugurate the sale of local
Ground Trip" tickets at all its offices
east of the Ohio River.
These tickets will be sold to any
station on the line of the Ohio River,
at discount averaging about ten per
cent. of the regular rate, and they will
be valid for thirty days, including
day of sale. They will be sold for all
trains, every day in the year, and it
is expected that their Introduction
will bring about an increase in the
volume Of local travel that will, even
tually, more than compensate the
Company for the reduction in rates.
We have no doubt this voluntary
action on the part of the Baltimore
and Ohio Company will be appreciated
by the people depending upon it for
the means of transportation, and be-
lieve that ultimate results will estab-
lish the wisdom of its liberal policy.

LOCKED UP IN A CAR. = Harry
Smith, fifteen-year-old boy, was let
out of box car yesterday morning by
Officer P. Ryan. He said he had been
III the car for week. Officer Ryan
was passing along Eutaw street, at
Camden Station, when he heard
knocking, which came from car
He had the door opened, and still
hearing the noise, he caused the hay
with which the car was loaded, to be
taken out. This was done, and out
walked the small hoy, weak as two
day-old kitten and looking half
starved. He was taken to the South
ern Station, where Lieutenant SUM-
strum gave him something to eat.
He told Justice Warfield that he had
been in the car for week. Last Fri
day, at Harper's Ferry, he crawled
into the car, which was half full of
hay, lay down and went to sleep, and
when he awoke the door was locked.
He had nothing to eat but hay, and he
wasn't horse, and couldn't digest
that, nor did he have any water. He
had worked on the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal, and wanted to get home
to Philadelphia.-Bdl Am. "a.

WHAT AM | TO DO?

The symptoms of Biliousness are I'M
happily but too we'll known. They differ
in different individuals to some extent.
A Bilious man is seldom breakfast eater
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but none for solids of
a morning. His tongue will hardly bear
inspection at any time if it is not white
and furred, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of
order and Diarrhea or Constipation may
be symptom or the two may alternate
There are often Hemmorrhoids or even
loss of blood There may be giddiness
and often headache and acidity or fatu-
lence and tenderness in the pit of the
stomach. To correct all this if not effect
cure try Green's august Floocer, it cost
but a trife and thousands attest its eff
cacy.

TEN THOUSAND CHRISTMAS PRES
ENTs.-Notwithstanding the general
complaint of ascarcity of money in the
agricultural districts, the sales of
Christmas presents made this year
have been immense, especially by
those merchants who lioerally adver-
tised their goods. In the extensive
stores of the MessH. Updegraff, of
Hagerstown, who advertise literally
in THE HERALD, record is kept of
every sale made, together with the
kind and number of articles sold.
This is done by means of a system of
sale tickets, being made up by each
clerk selling the bill of goods. On
Saturday the number Of these tickets
amounted to 1904, each ticket show
ing the sale of one to dozen or more
than ten thousand different articles on
this day. To handle this business,
there were employed 40 sales people,
2 cashiers, 6 parcel wrappers and
fioorwalkers, a total of SO persons.
Counting the business hours for this
day from s a. m. to 10 p. M, the sales
made exceeded three each minute
during that period.

Farmers and Housekeepers know a
good thing when they see it, and they
only need to be shown the Twenty
Year Record Book sold by Mr.. G.. A.
Means, General Agent, of Bedington,
W. Va, to buy one. Many farmers
make a great mistake in keeping no
account of their transactions. This
book would save them time, trouble
and money, and be great satisfaction
besides in knowing from year to year
how they stand, what they have raised,
what they bought and sold, of whom,
the price, and many other items of
interest. The book is SO arranged
that any farmer can keep it, and
1t will learn him the science of
book keeping. The Family Expense
BOOK is another valuable housekeep-
Ing expedient, that should be in every
iamily. The price is very reasonable.

The STRAWBERRY MARK TRIUM-
PHANT.-A meeting between two
brothers who had not seen each other
for twenty-five years past was wit
messed in a Broadway store this NOR
ming. At the close of the war George
and Joseph Blake who had fought
together shoulder to shoulder were
separated, George going to Berkeley
Springs, w. Va, and Joseph to New
York. The former has recently made
his home in this village. The latter,
Joseph, came upon the morning train
unknown to his brother and proceeded
at once to Tobey's store, where his
brother makes his headquarters.
While pretending to look at overcoats,
he came face to face with his long
unseen brother and, unable to control
his emotions, reached out his hand
and commenced to laugh outright,
exclaiming, "How are you, George?"
the recognition not being mutual,
George simply looked up with amaze
ment; and not until familiar Incl
dents connected with their childhood
and early manhood were recalled, was
their happiness mutual and the stu
alton accepted as it really was.-Daiiy
Sdrdt0gidn.
The above named George Blake is
no other than our George Blakeley,
for many years Justice of the Peace
in Bath District. Blakely was men,
Der of the 1st Vermont Cavalry and
at the close of the war remained in
West Virginia to cast his lot among
our people. In the course ofeventS
he drifted to Berkeley Springs where
he married Miss Eliza Hunter, one of
our most estimable young ladies, and
remained until the late summer when
he left with his wife and children to
join his relatives in Troy and Sarato-
ga, whom he had not seen or heard of
for twenty-five years.

THE MARTINSBURG HERALD, SATURDAY, DEC

After six weeks work, Major
Boyne and his men have completed
the survey of the old Tape Worm
Railroad. They commenced the sur
vey at a point on the Western Mary
road on the Blue Ridge summit and
followed the Tape Worm short dis
lance and then leaving it ran the line
parallel to the old bed, but coming
down lower into the valley opposite
the old Maria Furnace owned by
Stephens & Paxton. They then cross
ed the ravine and came along the low
er edge OF the South Mountain grad
ually descending until the level of the
country was reached ana again struck
the old Tape Worin on the other side
of Drama. The distance of the line
surveyed is fftean miles and will be
nearly all side cutting with but one
piece of trestle work. When COM
pleted it will make short line into
Shenandoah valley. 1t will also be a
direct through line from the South to
Gettysburg battlefield, Penmar and
Antietam. 1t is very likely the final
result of the survey will be the com.
pletion of the road, President Hood
having recommended it in his annual
report. = Gettysburg Truth
